Photoautotroph |
An organism that uses photosynthesis to create food out of light energy |
Plants. The photoautotrophs make their own sugars. |
|
Photosynthesis |
The process of using sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into food. |
The ground. The process of photosynthesis is used by most autotrophs. |
|
Thylakoids |
Holds the place where light reactions take place. |
Thylakoid. The thylakoid holde these items. |
|
Grana |
A stack of thylakoids in the stroma. |
Many thylakoids, The Grana is a type of this. |
|
Stroma |
The tissue around the grana. |
Grana. Many grana are held here. |
|
Chloroplast |
Contains chlorophyll and is where photosynthesis happens |
Thing around chlorophyll. Chloroplast is usually green because of pigments. |
|
Chlorophyll |
A green pigment that absorbs light and does photosynthesis. |
Many Thylakoids. Is the holder of this and is a certain color. |
|
Light Reactions |
When light is absorbed and converted into ATP in phase 1 of photosynthesis. |
Phase 1 Light reactions happen to create this. |
|
Calvin Cycle |
A series of reactions taking place during photosynthesis. |
Making sugar. The Calvin Cycle is vital to photoautotrophs. |
|
NADPH |
Chemically reduced form of NADP. Has one less electron. |
NADP - something. NADPH is involved in light reactions. |
|
PGAL |
An intermediate to the metabolic systems of organisms. |
C3H7O8P PGAL is used during The Calvin Cycle. |
|
Photoinhibition |
The photosynthetic capacity of plants and algae.
|
Algae. They use photoinhibition. --> |
|
Saturation Point |
The point of when no more vapor can occur and cannot be dissolved into a substance. |
Adding chocolate powder to milk. The Saturation Point is often a peak of this... |
|
Limiting Factors |
Limits the growth, abundance, or distribution of organsims in an ecosystem. |
Not enough water for everyone. Limiting Factors are often abundances of materials needed to live. |
|
Rubisco |
An enzyme that helps in oxygenation during photorespiration. |
Rubisco. Is a digestive item. |
|
Photorepespiration |
Turning carbon and water into energy. Letting out oxygen and Carbon Dioxide. |
Oxygen. Photorespiration takes place in plants. |
|
C4 PLants |
Plants with 4 Carbons. |
C4 is a compound. C4 Plants need four of these to live. |
|
Stromates |
Connective tissue framework in the Calvin Cycle. |
A stroma Gland. Stromae are a part of the Calvin Cycle. |
|
Aerobic Cell Respiration |
The process of breaking down food into energy needed for cellular work and life. |
A human Lifting weights. Humans exercising to convert food into Energy. |
|
Chemoautotroph |
An organism that gets its energy through chemosynthesis. |
Some bacteria. Usually found in extreme environments. |
